After the shot

On my last outing in the "woods" i saw the biggest bobcat ive ever seen and although he was too far for me to get a good shot im hoping to go back out and get him(im guessing it was a tom because of the size). if i did manage to get this guy i think i would want to get him mounted. my question is, what should i do between harvesting the animal and getting it to the taxidermist?
